One of my favorite features of all the Gothics is the ability to use the terrain to my advantage. You can climb up on stuff and snipe enemies that would otherwise be too difficult to kill face-to-face. This was especially true of the Orcs and Lizard Men in G2. I load up on arrows and bolts and let 'em have it from the safety of my perch. It worked beautifully in G3. Of course, Orc Shamans had magic to use, so you had to snuff them quickly or die.
